ReAmemiya Sway Bar Mount/Brace?
1 Attachment(s)
Taken from RHDJapan's site.....I was wondering if anyone had experiance with this bar, i recently had my stock sway bar mounts destroyed, so i was inquireing about Widefoot ones, im pretty set on Widefoot, but then found this:
The RE-Amemiya Stabilizer Bridge Bar adds a great amount of rigidity to your vehicle while also securing the movement of your stabilizer bar to a minimum. After installed, cornering response will be increased as well as high speed stability. This will make driving your RX-7 more enjoyable and make you feel more in control. What do you guys think? |
i've heard good things about it, but its expensive.. kinda want one now though.. :)

true

Yeah, just wondering if its just as strong as the Widefoot mounts, or at least would it handle street/drag use?

the widefoot mounts look stronger than the part in the picture about. the widefoot mounts are solid aluminum. the brace above just looks like bent metal where it replaces the factory sway bar bracket.

true gracer, but I think that's why re added that bar in there for extra support since just replacing those mounts wont cut it unless you go with widefoots setup. Regardless it's stronger than stock and should be up to the task.

i didn't mean to insinuate that the RE setup was weaker. just pointing out one big difference.
|
seems to me the weakest parts of both widefoot and amemiya would be the fastner hardware.
|
Went ahead and ordered it, I'll post pics and write a review on it when i receive it.
|
That sounds great!!!
|
Haha, you beat me to that purchase as I will be using the same mounts with the tri-point bar..at least you can try it for me first..lol..

ReAmemiya brace versus Widefoot
Hi All,
Well, I'm a bit biased, but I would go with my Widefoot parts for the following reasons: 1) The Widefoot Mounts raise the swaybar away from the road, to lessen risk of damage due to track berms or road debris 2) While I haven't weighted the ReA part, I'd bet my mounts are lighter. Certainly they're more compact. 3) My mounts use a brace that stabilize the bracket directly to a strong and stiff part of the car chassis, rather than using a cross-tube that that just goes to the other swaybar mount. Add to that the shorted height of the Widefoot mount (which means less leverage exerted by the swaybar into the mount/chassis) and I'll bet my mounts are stiffer over-all. 4) No welds to break - Widefoot mounts are machined from solid aluminum. Ditto, no worries about rust. 5) Widefoot supplies grade 12.9 mounting hardware with the swaybar mount kits, which is the strongest commonly avaialble metric hardware. The only fasteners that are stainless steel (rather than 12.9) are for the side brace clamps, which due to the forces applied do not need to be as strong. And then there's the (literally hundreds) of happy users. See Howard Coleman's "FD Chassis/Setup" thread for his thoughts. But like I said, I'm biased... David Breslau Widefoot Racing Co. |
From my website (http://www.fdnewbieimports.com/Backu...2pic.php?n=1):
This is an authentic RE-Amemiya stabilizer bar for the FD3S RX-7. This bar mounts above the stock sway bar acting as a chassis reinforcement, increasing roll stiffness and reinforcing the sway bar mounts themselves. "The added tube between the mounts keeps them from twisting or rocking where they attach to the chassis, which is the big problem with the stock Mazda mounts." - quoted from DamonB |
i picked up that bar when i was i japan. i've had it on my car for a couple years now. i like it and its held up to tracking the car just fine. right now im still running the stock bar but i have the tripoint bar on order
|
Both are great choices. I ran the widefoot mounts with the racing beat brace bar and my sway bar was rediculously well secured.
